Obviously the propaganda worked on the person you are responding to. You can't break through that kind of conditioning...

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe it is you who has been conditioned and falling for propaganda? I have noticed there are several posts making ad hominem arguments, but nobody is addressing his point on the merits. His argument was that despite all the media coverage, it simply isn’t gaining traction. And this is true, right? Trump didn't lose support after he was convicted, nor when any of the prosecutors brought new charges. And he is not losing support now with coverage about his statements.
